Directed and written by Sean Hogan, this was made to accompany the book Yuletide Terror: Christmas Horror on Film and Television, which was edited by Kier-La Janisse.

Patrick (Billy Clarke) is an older man lives in a seaside British town, a place that only sees life when the tourists are the in summer. Now it’s the bitterly cold holidays and it seems as if things will remain dreary until his long lost daughter Nina (Jamie Birkett) shows up. That seems to be better than the voices that Patrick hears from the sea (Belinda Kordic) until we start to realize that while he’s the protagonist of this story, Patrick may not be the hero.

Horror for the holidays was once a strictly British phenomena, but now that the world has become smaller through the web, we can all celebrate these dark films. Perhaps in the darkness that we find within them, we may avoid the mistakes of their characters.

We Always Find Ourselves In the Sea is part of the new Severin box set, All the Haunts Be Ours Volume 2. It has extras including commentary by director Sean Hogan and co-producers Paul Goodwin And Nicholas Harwood and a press kit.

You can order this set from Severin.
